Description

Though only in her 20\'s, singer-songwriter Megan Slankard has independently sold nearly 30,000 copies of four independently released CDs. Megan’s newest release, A Token Of The Wreckage (Spring 2011), is \"an edgy alt-rock release that is a breath of fresh air\" (Maverick Magazine), “gleaming, grooving, and gritty” (Minor 7th), with \"thoughtful construction and clever wordplay\" (Performer Magazine). The CD, which was recorded with help from David Bryson (Counting Crows) and Jerry Becker (Train), held a spot in the 10-best selling albums on CD Baby for weeks. In addition to 12 new songs, the CD also includes Megan’s first official music video, written and directed by Matthew Ward. The video has earned 18,000 plays on Vimeo and You Tube combined. In spring 2011, in support of her new CD, the singer-songwriter toured her way across the US, driving 20,000 miles in 7 months. Megan returned home to San Francisco, CA in December to play a sold ou t show with her band in the grand ballroom of the venerable Swedish American Hall.
